EURUSD Technical Analysis –
Daily Timeframe

On the
daily chart, we can see that EURUSD recently broke out of the downward trendline but sold
off soon after leaving behind a fakeout. This is generally a reversal pattern,
so the bias remains bearish, and the sellers are still in control. The price is
now trading at a key trendline and a break below it would open the door for a
bigger fall into the 1.0515 level.

EURUSD Technical Analysis –
4 hour Timeframe

On the 4 hour chart, we can see that we have now a
key support around
the 1.0770 level. If the price breaks through it, the sellers should pile in
aggressively with a defined risk above the support and target the 1.0515 level.
The buyers, on the other hand, are likely to step in here with a defined risk
below the support and target the 1.1033 level.

EURUSD Technical Analysis –
1 hour Timeframe

On the
1 hour chart, we can see that we have a strong resistance around the 1.0840
level where we can also find the downward trendline. If the price breaks above
that resistance and the trendline, the bearish setup will be invalidated, and
the buyers will regain control. That resistance will also be the last line of
defence for the sellers as a break upwards will open the door for a much bigger
correction.

Upcoming Events

This week is a bit empty on the data front with just the
US ISM Services PMI tomorrow and the US Jobless Claims on Thursday being the
main highlights. The market pricing is unlikely to change unless the data comes
in really hot in which case, we should see the US Dollar strengthening. On the
other hand, weaker readings might just bring forward rate cuts expectations and
weigh on the greenback in the short term.
